I just bought the b+w hardcopy and the color pdf download - partly because I can't wait for anything ever and partly because I certainly had to have the color version of a book called "Nothing But Red."

So far it's lovely and heartfelt and painful, and there's so much I could mention, or quote, but I've only read half of it, and I have to get back to work, so I'll just say this:

There are a number of pieces that look at honour killings, but many more look at misogyny and violence against women in general. Lilith Saintcrow has an essay about how rape is treated as a property crime, Hanne Blank has a Take Back the Night Keynote Address that she wrote. There's a wonderful variety of work and I'm so proud to have been a part of it. :-)

I'm about a quarter of the way through my PDF copy and looking forward to receiving the print version. Skyla and everyone else who worked on this collection did an amazing job. I'm happy that I was able to contribute to this book and am honored to stand in such fine company.

b!X - Yeah, the cost. There's a standard binding fee, then it's $0.02 per page for black and white and $0.15 per page if it's colour (and you can't do just a couple of pages in colour--if you choose the colour option, you pay for every page). Now of course, the book is print-on-demand, so it's not like we had to pay for a print run, but at over three hundred pages, we doubted anyone would want to pay the full colour price.

And though it's already been answered, yes, we received approval to use Joss's essay in the book (it's the first piece).

Thank you to everyone who has supported the book--I'm going to be updating the NBR site monthly with total sales and total money raised, so stay tuned for that. :-)

Congratulations to everyone involved. I'm pondering print vs. digital at the moment. Question for those involved: does Equality Now receive more money from one or the other? Or are they priced so that it's equal?

They're priced so that it's about equal. I'm happy to break it down, if anyone is interested: the base cost of the print book is $10.79. With the retail price set at $15.95, $4.13 goes to EN, while Lulu takes a $1.03 commission. The eBook has no base price. At $5.95, $4.76 goes to EN, and Lulu takes a commission of $1.19.
